Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Locals call it the Wood. Bennettswood Bowling Club has been part of Burwood since 1960, when residents built its greens and clubhouse largely by hand, and it sits in the Gardiners Creek Reserve with its entrance off Station Street. A bowls outing at the Wood includes:

Two real grass greens beside Gardiners Creek
Club bowls to borrow, so nobody needs their own set
Volunteer members who show beginners how to play
Adults from $10 per person, with a cheaper rate for children
A club bar that opens on request

The low price makes it work for a family birthday with kids in tow as easily as a staff afternoon, a corporate bowls day with clients or a Christmas break-up.

The main clubhouse seats up to 150, and a separate lounge bar area suits 10 to 30
Hire runs in half-day blocks, either 10am to 4pm or 5pm to 11pm
A deposit secures the date, with the balance due 72 hours beforehand
Weddings, reunions and birthday parties have all been held in the clubhouse

Plates, BBQ and the bar at the Wood

Have the club run a BBQ of sausages, hamburgers and salads, priced per head
Or hire the club kitchen and self-cater, adding the outdoor BBQ if you need it
BYO is not allowed, so drinks come from the club bar
A few ends followed by food and a drink is the usual shape of a corporate day
